66 hours to go: Make your 66 donation now September 21, 2016

We are 66 hours away from the 2016 Walk to END Alzheimer’s; have you taken 66 seconds to click thislink and make your donation? If you have, thank you. You are helping to stop the clock on Alzheimer’s disease. If you haven’t, I want to encourage you to do it right now.

Many of us give our time and resources to many worthy causes, but the reality is Alzheimer’s disease takes our time and resources…without asking!

In 2015, 15.9 million family and friends provided 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care to those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. That care had an estimated economic value of $221.3 billion.

Unless something is done, in 2050, Alzheimer’s is projected to cost more than $1 trillion (in 2016 dollars). Costs to Medicare will increase 360 percent. This dramatic rise includes a nearly five-fold increase in government spending under Medicare and Medicaid and a nearly five-fold increase in out-of pocket spending.

But something can be done, if we all work together. We can stop Alzheimer’s disease from stealing our time, our resources, our memories…and our loved ones.

Take the next 66 seconds to click this link and make your donation…66 cents, $66, $6,600 or any amount in between. If we all join the fight, we can stop the clock on Alzheimer’s disease.
